This invention relates, to trousers, more particularly to the pocket constructions thereof, and has for its object to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a'pocket having wall portions thereof formed from inherent parts of the material providing-the trouser body thereby producing an unusually strong and durable pocket of a construction to overcome side seam ripping and tearing out thereof,

With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arran ement of parts as hereinafter more specifically described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of theinventiombut it is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications can be resorted towhich fall within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.

Referring to Figures 1 to 11 of the dI'ZLW'. ings 1 indicates one of the front sections and line 18-18 Fig- -2 indicates one of the rear or back sections of a pair of trousers. The sections 1- and 2-associate and are secured together to provide one-half of the trousers, that is to say one of the legs and one-half orf't'he body portion of the trousers. f p c Thesection 1 has projecting from its outer edge, in proximity to its top, an integral flap '3 which is formed of the same material as that of said'section and further which provides one of the walls of a side pocket tions are oppositely disposed and extend away from each other.

The sect on 2'has projecting from its outer upwardly extending inclined top edge 11, an

outwardly inclined outer edge 12, and adownwardly curved bottom edge 13 of greater lengthythan the top edge 11. The flap lO'gradually increases in width from its upper to its lower portion. The top of the section 2 is furthermore provided with a pair of spaced slits 1 1, 15 of greater length than the slits 7 and 8 and the inner terminal of each'slitv l t, 15, is inclined as at 16 and the said inclined portions are oppositely disposed withrespect to each other and project away from each other. I

The material freed by the slits 7 and8 is 5 indicated at 17, it extends above the top edge of section 1, provides a flap and which is employed to set up the watch pocket of the trousers arranged at the waist thereof.

' The material freed by the slits 14, 15 is indicated at 18; it extends above the top edge of section 2, provides a flap and which is em ployed in connection with the setting up of the back or hip pocket of the trousers.

The sections 1 and 2 are secured together wrong side out, see Figure 3. Prior to the securing of the sections 1 and 2,, wrong side out, the section 1 is positioned upon the sec tion 2, so that the flap 3 will be arranged in superposed relation with respect to the flap 10. A row of stitching 19 is employedfor securing the sections land 2, wrong side out,

and said stitching is positioned in proximity to the outer edges of the sections 1 and 2, extends from the bottom of said sections, to the point of joinder of the bottom edges of the flaps with the side edges of the sections, then completely around the flaps inproximity to the free edges thereof to the point of j oinder of the flaps with the side edges thereof and from such point of joinder extends to the top edges of the sections, see Figure 3.

Before the sections 1 and 2 are secured together, in the manner as referred to, the watch and hip pockets are formed. With re spect to the manner of setting up the watch pocket the material 17, freed by the slits '7 and 8, is folded against the inner face of the section 1, as indicated in Figure 7. A facing 19 is then secured to the fold 17 and said facing 19 projects above the bend 20 an appropriate distance. The facing 19 is of slightly greater width than the fold 17 so as to overlap the edges of the slits 7 and 8 and said facing 19 is secured in proximity to its edges, as indicated at 21, to the fold 17 and is also secured to-the section 1 .as indicated at '22. When the waist band 23 is secured in position, that'is to say at-the top of the section 1 it forms the top edge of the mouth 2d of the Watch pocket, see Figure'5.

With respect to setting up the baclr'or hip pocket a rectangular piece of fabric indica .1: ed at 25 is secured to the section 2 and 1S formed with a pair of slits which align with the slits 14 and 15. The strip of fabric 25 is flushed at its top edge with the top edge of the section 2 and depends below the bottom of the slits 1a and 15.. 'The slits formed The material freed terial l8, freed by the'slitsle and 16 is also 2 bent downwardly, see Figure 9. A facing strip 27 is secured at its lower end, as at28 to the free ends of the freed material 18 and 26, see Figure 9. The facing strip 27' has its lower portion 28 of less width than its upper portion 29. The means for securii'ig the lower end of the facing str p 27, to the free ends of thefreed material 18 and 26, as

indicated at 28, is a row'o'f stitching and which extends throughout each side'and the bottom of the facing strip 27 and not only secures the latter to the freed material 18 and 26, but also secures the facing strip 27 to the section 2. SeeFigures a, 9 and 10. The facing strip 27 is of the same material from which the section 2 is constructed and projects above the mouth 30 of the hip or back pocket, see Figure 6, and is enclosed at its top, by the waist band 23.

When the sections 1 and 2, as well as the flaps 3 and 10, are secured together by the row of stitchingli), the sections 1 and 2 are turned right side out and the folds 3 and 10 bent inwardly to assume the dotted line position shown in Figures 5 and 6 and whichwill provide a side pocket. The flaps 3 and 10 when turned right side out will be positioned in the manner as shown in Figure 11.

Referringto Figures 12, 13 and la of the drawings, 31 indicates one of the front sections of the trousers and which is formed 'to provide one of the walls of what may of the section 31 and the edge 34 extends from the outer side edge of the section 31 in proximity to its top. The flap 32 is folded upon an inclination as indicated at 35. Secured to the flap 32 is a facing 36 which extends above the bend 35 and forms a continuation of the top and outer side edges of the section 31, see Figure 13. The mouth of the pocket is indicated at 37 and I is arranged'below the top edge of the section 31. The facing 36 is of the same material from which the section 1 is formed.

One side edgeof the facing 36 is secured throughout to one side edge of the flap 32 and the other'side' edge of the flap 32 is se cured throughout to a portion of the other side edge of the facing 36.

7 Referring to Figures 15, 16, 17 and .18 of the drawings a modified form of pocket is set up and which has its mouth disposed With an outwardly inclined upper end edge 41, a downwardly inclined top edge 42 and a curved lower end edge 43. The edge'41 terminates in the top edge of the section 38 and the edge 43 terminates in the outer side I edge of the section 38. The flap is folded upon an inclination against the section 38, and the point of the bend of the fold is indicated at 44. The flap 40 is formed of the same material from which the section 38 is set up. The section 39 has projecting outwardly therefrom, at its'upper end, a flap which at its upper portion is ofmaterially greater width than the flap 40 and the flap 45 is bent inwardly upon the point indicated at 46. When the sections 38 and 39 are connected together, the flap 40 is positioned upon the flap 45 as shown in Figure 16 and said flap 40 has its edges- 41, 42 and 43 secured to the edges 47, 48 and 49 of the flap 45. When the flaps are secured together a triangulanportion of the flap 45 is disconnected from'the flap 40, see

Figure 1.6 and'when the sections 38 andv 39 are turned right side out and the pocket formed by the flaps 40. and 45 arranged between thetrousers sections, the triangular shaped portion, which is indicated at 50 projects from the mouth 51 of the pocket. See Figure 17.

It is thought that the many advantages of a pocket construction for trousers, in ac- V cordance with this invention, can be readily understood, and although the preferred embodimcnts of the pockets, inaccordance with this invention, are as illustrated and described, yetit is to be understood that changes in the details of construction can be had which will fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.

hat I claim is:' V I v '1. In pocket construction for trousers, a trousers section having an inturned inherent pOItlOIIPIOVlCllIlg from itsjpoint of 1 j oinderwith the body of the trousers section to its free edge throughout one complete side wall ofthe pocket, and means opposing and secured to said inturned portion throughout the free edge of the latter to providethe other complete side wall of the pocket, said inturned portion arranged at the upper part of said trousers section. v

2. In pocket construction for trousers a trouser section provided with an inherent inturned flap forming one complete side wall of the pocket, and a trouser section formed with an inherent inturned flap pro-- viding the other complete side wall of the pocket, and means for securing said; flaps together in proximity to the edges thereof.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature hereto.
